UFC 94: Grease Is The Word

Georges St. Pierre bested BJ Penn in a battle of champions
at UFC 94, but a greasing controversy clouded his victory.

GSP used an overwhelming ground-and-pound attack to defend his
welterweight title against Penn, who tried to add the belt to his lightweight championship.

While Penn failed to continue after four rounds, he later sought an investigation into his claim that GSP was covered in too much Vaseline. While the decision
stood, a new rule was enacted limiting the use of grease to a fighter’s face.

GSP also won his first meeting against Penn by split
decision at UFC 58.

The co-main event was a battle of light heavyweights with 13-0
records. Lyoto Machida knocked out Thiago Silva with one second left in the
first round.

In a battle of judo experts, Karo Parisyan returned from a back
injury to face undefeated Dong Hyun Kim of South Korea. Parisyan won by split
decision, but the result was changed to a no-decision when he tested positive
for painkillers in a drug test.
